1 Introduction
Powerlan NS-6701 plugs can be used to establish a network connection
between your modem, PC, set-top Box, games console, etc.
By default, the Powerlan NS-6701 plugs are not connected. To connect them,
follow the procedure given in Chapter 6.
Limitations
Ideally, the maximum electrical cable length between two Powerline devices
should be no more than 200 metres.
The connection quality will be impaired by:
–
poor-quality electrical cabling.
–
fuses.
–
lightning/power surge protectors.
–
multiphase voltage: some houses have three-phase electricity. The
quality of the Powerline connection will be dramatically impaired if the
devices are connected to different phases. In some cases, there will be
no communication at all.
–
Some electrical equipment, such as microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners,
and old laptop/mobile phone chargers, will generate background noise on
the mains network during operation.
